Research

In Case Western Reserve University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, we focus on four key areas of study and research: Engineering Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and Structural Engineering. Every day, state-of-the-art research is done in our impressive laboratories that allow graduate and undergraduate students to shape the future of civil engineering for years to come. Following are brief descriptions of that groundbreaking research. For more current descriptions, see each faculty member’s webpage.
